When Joe Biden ran for president last year, he talked about establishing a $15 hourly minimum wage.

President Joe Biden hasn’t made that happen. Most of the incumbent senators don’t support it. Then Biden dropped the issue. He hasn’t made a push to raise the federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009. That’s the case even though several Republican senators support a smaller increase or indexing wages to inflation, such as Mitt Romney of Utah, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, and others.
